I’ve never read a page of X-O Manowar before this issue. I didn’t know the concept going into this first…

April 30, 2012 5:50 pm This was one of the New 52 #1's that actually pushed me out of trade waiting to buying comics weekly. It's also one of the few comics from that first batch of DC #1's that I still buy right when it comes out. It's still strong, and I can't wait to see where it goes after the first two arcs are done!
April 27, 2012 7:37 pm I'm feeling her the most too. Love the redesign, love Cam Stewart. The two would go together so well!
March 21, 2012 8:41 pm Picked this up based on your tweet earlier this afternoon Josh, and I was not disappointed! Thanks for the recommendation, and I can't wait for number two! Although I'm buying this digitally in issues, it might be the first book I pick up after doing so in trade format after having already paid for it once.
March 18, 2012 9:58 am No offense, but I completely disagree with this design philosophy when it comes to costumes. I do think that every aspect should serve a function, but that the function should be in service to the aesthetic appeal and not necessarily a practical purpose.
March 18, 2012 9:55 am Me too. I love the design, the hair, the everything about her. That is, except for the awful coloring in those preview images. They make everything look so cheap. The book needs sharp, clean lines and big blocks of smooth coloring like in McKelvie's design. That would really get across the military feel.
March 16, 2012 9:32 am Noto is just amazing. He's the only person who could draw two people on a couch and make it as breath-taking as those other worldly fantasy covers (which are also amazing).
March 15, 2012 7:05 pm The difference here being is that those things are part of the story as opposed to being tacked on just for the sake of it.
March 15, 2012 7:03 pm And get Ellis to write it. That would be amazing and be the first one of these I actually want to own as opposed to just rent.
March 15, 2012 11:15 am Chronic back pain is the worst, hope you're doing alright! This really was a top notch week, but I really couldn't see the POTW could have been anything else. Still, Wolverine and the X-men was my pick this week between psychic shotgun, kid brood gladiator, and most importantly Broo's heart break won me over.
March 12, 2012 5:12 pm This plague hurts my nose. I went through a whole box of kleenex's on Saturday alone. I do not know how our bodies can create that much mucus, but I will be honest, it genuinely scares and mystifies me. This is a much more exciting week for me than last week with Saga, Batman & Robin, Green Lantern, and Wolverine and X-Men. Awesome.
